    Product Description
    A successfull career woman is thrust into unexpected motherhood when she inherits a little girl and finds her life and relationships drastically changed.
    Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
    Rating: PG
    Release Date: 6-FEB-2001
    Media Type: DVD


    Amazon.com
    The writing-directing team of Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers (Father of the Bride) made this sweet satire about a high-powered yuppie executive (Diane Keaton) who unexpectedly becomes a mom and finds she can't successfully integrate the role into her busy life. Typical of the Shyer-Meyers films prior to Myers taking the director's reins on the wonderful Parent Trap, Baby Boom is a little wooden and more sentimental than genuine. But there are entertaining moments, for sure, and Keaton is a delight. --Tom Keogh

    5 out of 5 stars The Lady from the 80's   February 27, 2010
    J. Pierce (Bowling Green, KY)
    I absolutely love this romantic comedy about an uptown New York lady of the 80's. It reminds me somewhat of myself in the 80's. She dresses beautifully and has a brilliant career ahead of her, that is, until Elizabeth, a darling toddler arives on her doorstep. I love this child. And, the veternarian, oh! how handsome.

    I really love the house she purchased in Vermont. If there are truly homes like this one, I would move to Vermont in a heartbeat.
    Absolutely beautiful scenery..

    I love this movie! I watch it several times a month. It's a success story, a story for single women who want careers, family and love! A must see!


    5 out of 5 stars Baby Boom   January 19, 2010
    Arnita D. Brown (USA)
    J.C. Wiatt is a successful New York business woman known around town as the "tiger lady." She gets news of an inheritance from a relative from another country and off the bat she suspects it's money. Well it's not money, it's a baby girl. At first she doesn't accept until the lady that gives the baby to her has to catch her flight. J.C. is now stuck with an annoying baby girl. Her boyfriend doesn't like the idea of a baby living with them and he leaves her. J.C. has enough of it and takes her to meet a family ready to adopt her. She leaves but hears the baby cry while walking away and has to go back. The baby is too attached to her now and won't let her go. Later, her baby gets into mischief which causes her to get fired. Now, she sets her eyes on an old two story cottage in Vermont to get out of the New York life. When she arrives, the house needs more help than originally thought. She gets bored one snowy day and decides to make apple sauce. Her baby loves it and she decides to sell it. Pretty soon everyone wants some of the baby apple sauce. J.C. hits it big and falls in love with a local veterinarian. Keaton is delightfully charming in this pleasant comedy. Simply a thoroughly enjoyable, funny, pleasant and uplifting movie.


    4 out of 5 stars Great movie ... bad DVD   January 12, 2010
    Geoff7
    This is actually one of my favorite films from the 80's. Diane Keaton couldn't be more perfect as the hard-pressed "cold, career women" that thanks to an unexpected "inheritance," learns many lessons about living in the fast ... and slow lanes.

    Diane's characterization of conflicting intentions after coming out of the adoption agency is one of the best on film and Nancy Meyers/Charles Shyer carry a consistent and quality film that we often don't see today. There is actually a story and arc here --- not a "Citizen Cane," but nonetheless, fulfilling from beginning to end.

    Additionally, there are some terrific performances in this rather overlooked gem, specifically from Keaton, but also from the twin actresses that played 'Elizabeth.' Of course, I'm sure this was due to some immense "luck" by directer, Shyer in capturing the absolute PERFECT look from a 10-11 month old (or whatever age they were); however, 'Elizabeth's' look at Keaton in the adoption agency about tears my heart out.

    There are so many wonderful scenes in this film, I could go on an on. Despite the above, this is a true comedy and a well written one --- that doesn't push the humor in your face or try to reach with grossness, however I laugh out loud often. Many call this a "chick flick," well ... I am a man, and this is one film I enjoy over and over. It is a charming movie that puts me and my family in a better mood every time we watch it.

    The ONLY reason I gave it four stars here (it deserves 5) is because of the DVD transfer. It is AWFUL. Anyone out there know how to convince these studios to give us BETTER transfers of films that, although may not blockbusters, are still as valued by many who appreciate quality work and a wonderful story? It seems that they used an old television pan and scan copy and then letter-boxed it. Why? It's worse than you can sometimes find on television (as the very bottom and top of all frames are cropped). If you get a chance, copy it from AMC (however, I wish they would convert to HD).

    Nevertheless, it will usually look better than this DVD, but ... DON'T miss this lovely charmer. You'll feel GOOD at the end. If you don't, and I say this honestly, you have no heart. Ha!
